Mini Snake Game
Only have a minute? The mini snake game shrinks the board to a pocket-sized 12 by 12 grid. Games are short, sharp, and surprisingly tricky — the board fills up before you know it.

About this mode
Small board, big challenge
A tiny grid sounds easy until you play it. With so few squares, your snake becomes a real obstacle almost immediately, and there is very little room to recover from a bad turn. Every move matters from the start.
Mini mode is ideal for a quick brain-break or for practising precise, deliberate turns in a confined space. If you can post a strong score here, the larger boards will feel wide open.
Controls
Use the arrow keys or WASD on desktop. On mobile, swipe in the direction you want the head to travel, or tap the D-pad under the board. Press Space to start or to restart after a game over.

FAQ
Questions about this mode
How small is the mini board?
It is a 12 by 12 grid, roughly a third of the classic play area, so games are short and intense.
Is mini snake harder?
In its own way, yes. There is very little room, so the board fills quickly and precise turns matter more than ever.
How long does a game take?
Usually under a minute, which makes it perfect for a quick break.
